The "pass system" has been
abolished. Railroads now collect
fare from all who travel and can af-
ford a lower passenger rate than I'M
der the old order of things. We hope
the roads will voluntarily" make
the proper reduction, even if the rail-
way commissioners or the next
legislature have to aid them in max
ing I'D their minds in the matter.

How Modern HYMNS Arc Written.

Know that man? It's William H.
Doane, and he makes $40, 900 year writ
ing hymns, or rather that's the royalty he
gets. He is engaged with Fay & Co.,
but in his leisure moments he hunts
around and finds touching bit of poetry
and he words it into hymn. Oh, it's O
paying business; beats any kind of writ
ing 1 ever heard of, but it's not every
body that can catch on to that sort of
style. It's harder than writing variety
songs or even Ledger stories or detective
yarns of blood and thunder romances.
You see, a man must have some of the
divine afflatus mixed with good deal of
piety in order to be a success as an hymn
nologist.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Not the least of the many advan-
tages which have come and are yet to
come to the people through their
present little tilt with the railroads,
is the opportunity it has given to as
certain the exact position, animus
and sympathies of the journals of the
country. It has been made very easy
to determine which of them are the
friends and which the foes of the
people, which are actuated by patri--.
otto motives and WHICH by ,monopo-
listic cash. 1t is~gratifying to know
that a vast majority of the press is on
the - side, but it is humiliating to
1" even a small minority on the
wrong side in a struggle like this;
it is doubly humiliating to see papers
which claim to be the special cham
pions of farmers fighting with all
their puny strength on the side of
railroad discrimination, extortion
and injustice.-Farm Stock and

One method Of robbery practised
by the Manitoba railway is in charg-
ing freight upon more than actual
weight of goods shipped. If mer-
chants will weigh articles as received
they will frequently find that actual
weight is much less than the alleged
weight upon which they have paid
freight.

One Use for Salt Brine.

Salt brine is used in Sheffield, England,
for hardening steel, says an exchange.
The mixture improves with age and use,
and to such an extent that its value is
largely increased. In some cases these
tanks are fifty years old, and have value
in proportion to their age 1t appears
that the constant dipping of the hot metal
into the same solution alters in some way
its character.-Boston Budget.

LabQuchere, the editor of London
Truth and a M. P, il writing Of the
earthquake scenes in Italy says that
the Prince of Wales was the only one
in the excited country cool enough to
keep his bed. He continues: ".The
theory OF earthquakes now is that oc-
casionally the weight of the water Of
the sea breaks the crust that sur
rounds our globe, and in rushes the
water, which is converted into steam
and produces throbs in it's effort to
force its way out. I suppose that
henceforward earthquake night-gowns
will form part of the wardrobe OF la
dies visiting the Riviera, SO thatif they
have to rush from their beds into the
street they will be clothed ingarments
most suitable to set Oft their beauty. "

The South is making progress in

tire corn crop of the United States,
raising 46e, e,s71, 900, to 1,1es, 57o,.
900 bushels grown in the North and
West. In 1880 the proportion of the
South of the immense crop of that
year was 20 per cent. In the same
period the Southern oat crop in.
creased from 4O,573, 900 to 69,55O,-
900 bushels, the percentage to the
whole crop Of the country being 1 l
per cent. in 1886, against 8 per cent.
in 1880. In other food crops the in
crease is relatively as great, keeping
pace with the great extension Of cot

He did not, it is true, return to

last two years he could stay abroad
two years, but if it became exhausted
sooner, he would be Obliged to return.
He was treated SO much like a sover-

that he mentioned did not hold out

A Gigantic Railroad Absorp ption.

The New York Tribune has a big sensa-
ton in the shape of an almost positive
statement that the Baltimore & Ohio rail
road is to he sold to the Reading Railroad
company, and that the Western Union Tele.
graph company is to absorb the Baltimore
d Ohio Telegraph company. There is also
a mysterious consolidation of the Postal
Telegraph company and Commercial Tele-
graph company. and this is also suspi-
cious. In fact, it looks as though the
Western Union was about to gobble every
telegraph company in the country.
The New York Times says that the con.
troll OF the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
company has passed into the hands OF Al
fred Sully of New York and that it is to be
q part OF the system which includes the
Jersey Central, the Philadelphia and
Reading, the Richmond Terminal and
Richmond & Danville, the East Tennessee.
Virginia & Georgia, the Central Railroad
OF Georgia-6,O 900 miles OF track. The
control OF the Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph
company also goes to the syndicate.
